Your employers Marriage Leave and severance pay concessions remain on the table, despite the Union’s position that we will not engage in concessionary bargaining.

Thanks to our members who organized events during NPSW, we earned terrific media coverage in every province of the Atlantic Region. Events ranged from demos in front of offices of Members of Parliament, fundraising initiatives, plant gates and much more.

Media Scan Recap:
?

Your bargaining team met with your employer (St. John’s Port Authority) the week of May 9th. The parties have agreed to a few issues but we came to an impasse due to several concessions proposed by the employer, including elimination of severance benefits and marriage leave.Our next steps:
We have applied for conciliation which means we are requesting the assistance of a conciliation officer from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. In the meantime, we will be meeting with the membership to discuss mobilization strategy.

Sisters and Brothers,
National Public Service Week (NPSW) will be held June 11-17, 2017.? The event marks the importance of federal public service employees and to recognizes their service to Canadians.? Because the employer cannot pay its employees on time and accurately, we are asking our members to boycott NPSW.
PSAC members proudly serve Canadians on a daily basis.? Our members deserve more than a piece of cake - if the employer wants to show their recognition for our members' valuable work; they should do that by paying them in full and on time.
